congressional hearing today that patients relying on some medical
equipment for their survival may be at risk next New Year's Day. They

are immune to the Y2K bug, the federal government has not tested those
claims to be sure the equipment actually is safe.

represents many diciplines including software development, embedded
logic, hardware professionals, human behaviour specialists,
economists, social scientists, senior executives, and others with
